• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Forgiveness

Sorry if this is not the correct place for this type of post. The welcome forum didn't seem like the best place.

Some of you may remember me, or not, that's ok. I've changed accounts a couple of times over the years, and I've been posting here on this forum since way back when (more than 10 years!). Time flies so fast. This time I've been away from this site for what seems like a little more than a year.

This site has undergone so many changes in the time I've posted here. People, trends, cultures and arguments have come and gone. Some of it was great. I have some good memories of posters here. Other times and interactions were not so great. It is what it is.

Lately I've been experiencing a lot of changes, especially in my walk with the Lord, and the other day I was asking in prayer about anything I ought to do. For some reason, I remembered this site, and I thought I should revisit to see if I can find some old friends. I also want to extend my apologies to anyone I crossed paths with in a less than friendly way. Things happen, but as for me, I've made it my aim to be less contentious than I was in more turbulent times. I also forgive and have already forgotten anything that I think was done to harm me.

Again, if you don't know who I am, then that's ok! Apologies for cluttering up your fellowship time with strange ramblings!

Welcome back. I wasn't here a year ago, so I obviously don't remember you.
But God bless you anyway and I hope you enjoy your time here.
